Which river is not a Peninsular river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Indus

The direct answer is A, Indus. Peninsular rivers flow mainly over the old, hard landmass of the Indian Peninsula. Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery are major Peninsular rivers, so options B, C and D belong to that group. The Indus is different: it is part of the Himalayan river system. It rises in the Tibetan region, receives water from Himalayan tributaries and has a long course across the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. Therefore it is not classified as a Peninsular river. The question asks for the river that does not belong, so A is correct. Do not reject Indus merely because part of its course lies outside present-day India; classification depends on the river system and physical region, not only on political boundaries. Memory cue: Ganga, Indus and Brahmaputra are Himalayan systems; Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery are Peninsular systems.
